This happened a long time ago on a planet far, far away.
There was only one commodity on this planet; #information
There was no food, no money but just information.
Information was sold in bright red packets.
In exchange for information, you would get more information.
People had no choice but to consume these packets.
Perrinially famished, they would devour any piece of information like a horde of zombies would attack a mortal.
This information was manufactured at a factory headed by an opportunist.
For thousands of years, people consumed true and factual information.
But when a pandemic swept away half of the population there was a dearth of factual information.
Information was now made artificially but to compensate for authenticity, it was made more entertaining.
Justice was also served by manipulating info.
Justice was not served by trial but my popular opinions and debates.
Populist decisions ruled.
Political and judicial mechanisms were redundant.
Eventually, all information was replaced with artificial information.
Everything got distorted, people went crazy and they lost touch with reality.
I don’t know what happened next but here are the few last words that someone heard.
Exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations & outright lies being broadcast by….
